Ask HN: How do i go about getting freelancing or remote work

I would like tips, insights and your advice on how you think i should go about getting freelancing work or a remote job as i have tried most freelancing and job posting sites to no avail, I am even starting to think that maybe it has something to do with my location seeing as i am an African Django back-end web developer. Do i need to content market and blog or what?. my github profile: https://www.github.com/smithmayowa20
